Why having a sister is a blessing

Top reasons why having a sister is simply great

Our society never welcomes a girl child. In most families, girls are not pampered as compared to boys because having a son is considered greater than having a daughter. But, as the brother of a girl, I truly believe I am blessed to have her as a sister. Let me list the top 12 reasons why I believe having a sister is truly a blessing…

1. She Helps Build Your Personality

Those times when her friends came over and she would close the door on you, were really character-building moments. And if your mom forced them to include you in their play of Hide and Seek, it always ended badly when they purposely never found you. Remaining silently hidden in a cramped linen closet for over two hours really teaches you a lot about personal limitations!

2. She Helps You Score In Your Career

Having a sister means having an extended network of her well-developed professional connections. Her friends are likely to be your immediate supervisors, so you’ll be ahead of the game when submitting for job opportunities. Plus, she always seems to know about amazing internship openings way ahead of everyone else!

3. She will be your Fashion Guru

Since you’re an illustration of both yours and your sister’s genetic qualities, you can best believe she won’t let you leave the house without looking good. And if she’s in a particularly good mood, she might even offer her own closet for inspiration. Be careful not to ruin it though — she’s got a lot of blackmail on you!

4. She will support you in front of your Parents

The fact that you stayed out past curfew just doesn’t seem that big a deal in comparison to your sister’s runaway phase. Her wild slip-ups prepared your parents well for your turn at growing up.

5. You can be bad but she won’t be

While most friends would hate you if you happened to thrown your mobile at their face, your sister has no choice but to continue loving you even afterwards.

6. She will be the Accountable One

You can count on her to remember to buy your Mom’s birthday gift (on Mom’s actual birthday for that matter). And as the parent-appointed babysitter, she’s used to looking out for you (even if she is younger). You still haven’t learned how to function properly at family gatherings because she’s always assuming sibling responsibilities.

7. She doubles your savings

Whether it’s your collective Pokemon card collection or having an extra wardrobe, having a sister means having double of everything. Sharing, on the other hand, is another issue…she will understand and support you every time.

8. She’s the person you copy

She taught you everything you know, from how to behave, to how to talk to your mother about your girlfriend. You even copied her old homework and reused her book reports. You actually liked receiving her hand-me-downs because you secretly always thought she was cooler than you.

9. She’s your life guru

Your sis gives the most insightful advice because, as someone who is your blood relative, she actually cares about what happens to you. She can say anything to you but won’t tolerate someone else abusing you.

10. She’s your unconditional supporter

When no one else will buy your candy for charity or laugh at your antics, your sis steps in. She’s been rooting for you since birth (despite trying to undermine your early childhood development).

11. She’s someone to play house with

She was someone you play house with, literally, when you were kids. And now that you’re grown up, figuratively too, as she’ll have you over for dinner and pack your lunch of leftovers for the next day.

12. She is your chaperone

You were automatically allowed to go out if you brought your little sister. If your parents were hesitant about allowing you to go out on a date or a hang out with your friends but you desperately needed to go, you were allowed to go out, as long as you brought your little sister.
